Hi to all, I've got a requirement where a single line in large dataset (RECFM=VB or FB and LRECL=<larger than 2048>) needs to be edited/changed in batch. Changed dataset is then to be used in next job steps.
Sounds easy? Interactively with TSO yes, but they want it to be done in a batch job. Something like c '???' '!!!' which can be easily done interactively. I have a look at the different utilities. One utility I could find useful is the EDIT and CHANGE commands running under IKJEFT. Unfortunately those IKJEFT01 commands require that the dataset lines need to be numbered. I tried it out: READY EDIT '??.TEST' OLD TEXT ASIS NONUM EDIT CHANGE 1 2000 'ONE' 'TWO' IKJ52502I DATA SET NOT LINE NUMBERED EDIT END The IKJ52502I is not what I want. Is there a batch utility where I can edit a line in large dataset? I am very sure I am overlooking something obvious. Many thanks in advance.
